I see three different 103's: a 103(s) which shows nothing except a 95 in TP2 and 88 and TP4, a 103(ca) which shows "n/a" for the first 8 TPs, and a 103(cb) which shows a 92 in TP6. Is the last one, 103(cb), the one I am supposed to be looking at??

I did on Saturday(7/31) and got what I think to be a great deal: 2 HD DVR's (the first one free, the second was only $70.98 (as opposed to $99 on D* website!), and 1 standard HD receiver for $84.99 (again cheaper than the D* website), $180 Costco Cash back, and the best part: Choice Ultimate...
